Principal Software Engineer - Developer Platform

There is only one Data Cloud. Snowflake’s founders started from scratch and designed a data platform built for the cloud that is effective, affordable, and accessible to all data users. But it didn’t stop there. They engineered Snowflake to power the Data Cloud, where thousands of organizations unlock the value of their data with near-unlimited scale, concurrency, and performance. This is our vision: a world with endless insights to tackle the challenges and opportunities of today and reveal the possibilities of tomorrow. 

As Snowflake strives to become the global data platform for customers, it is clear that we need an integrated platform that supports data application development. We are building a powerful all-in-one Snowflake Developer Platform. This will offer a world class and integrated experience to 3rd Party Developers writing code on Snowflake. This platform will power Data Science, Machine Learning, Application Development, UI Development and more.
